Rajinikanth’s Coolie Gets A Certificate & 170-Minute Runtime — Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Gangster Drama Creates Buzz
There’s massive excitement across the nation for Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Touted as a high-octane gangster action drama, the film boasts a power-packed ensemble cast featuring Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, Shruti Haasan, Shoubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj in pivotal roles.
In a surprising turn of events, the film has received an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) — a shocker for many fans and industry insiders alike. This marks the first Rajinikanth film in over two decades to be certified adults-only, making Coolie a standout in the superstar’s illustrious career.
Adding to the intrigue, the film has locked an official runtime of 170 minutes (2 hours and 50 minutes). While lengthy, the duration appears justified given the multi-layered narrative and the film’s stellar cast.
Coolie is backed by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner, with Anirudh Ravichander composing the music. The film is set for a grand theatrical release on August 14, just ahead of India’s Independence Day weekend.
In Coolie, Rajinikanth will be seen in a grey-shaded role, with the plot reportedly revolving around luxurious watches—a unique thematic element in Indian cinema. With Lokesh Kanagaraj at the helm, expectations are sky-high for a gritty, stylish, and action-packed experience.
